On January 1, 1926, Lin Zixuan held a national Mandarin publicity conference in Jiumudi, Huajienan City, Shanghai.

Most of the participants were young students and people in the education sector, and there were also many media reporters.

To be honest, the attitudes of the south and the north are different in the promotion of Mandarin, and southerners are more rejected. After all, Mandarin is based on Beijing dialect.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are more accustomed to using southern dialects, which are the Wu dialect, also known as Jiangdong dialect.

Although there was a lot of publicity in the newspaper, Shanghai citizens did not buy it very much.

Fortunately, this conference is just a show, and the focus is on promoting and popularizing it in schools. Mandarin education is not about eliminating dialects, but a more general way of communication.

Even in later generations, Mandarin has been promoted for so many years, but the dialect still survived tenaciously.

Lin Zixuan talked about the benefits of using Mandarin in Mandarin and also told stories about the Tower of Heaven in Western society.

In ancient times, humans united to build a tower that hoped to lead to heaven. In order to prevent humans from planning, God asked humans to speak different languages ​​so that humans could not communicate with each other. The plan failed and humans dispersed from then on.

This story shows that using the same language can easily communicate, eliminate misunderstandings and barriers, and work together.

He used Mandarin when he gave a speech, but after he came down, he still used Shanghai dialect.

There is no way. Most Shanghai people moved from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they usually speak in dialects.

After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, it was the turn of the representatives of the education sector to speak, followed by the student representatives and the media representatives to speak...

It took only one publicity conference a whole morning, and then I had to have dinner with scholars in the education industry and chat, and this New Year's Day passed.

Some people like to be watched on stage, and Lin Zixuan is not listed here.

He realized that since he came back, social activities have increased, and social groups that would not have invited him before also invited him.

It is not limited to the cultural circle, but also the political circles, the financial circles, the education circles, the science and technology circles, etc., which makes him unbearable.

This is because his social status has improved, attracting more attention from people. Some gatherings are even proud of being able to invite him to attend. This is because the more famous he is, the more social engagements he is.

When he returned home, Lin Zixuan, who was a little dizzy, sat on the sofa. Feng Chengcheng brought him a cup of tea, and the two chatted casually.

Smallpox has become popular in Shanghai recently. Especially children are most likely to be infected.

There have been deaths in hospitals in China and the Concession. The authorities issued a notice asking citizens to try not to contact smallpox patients and to seek medical treatment in a timely manner.

Smallpox has a high mortality rate in this era and is an extremely serious infectious disease.

Lin Zixuan knew that there was a smallpox vaccine in later generations, and also knew that this era could prevent it through vaccination. However, in China, there were very few children who truly prevent smallpox through vaccination.

Once infected, with the current medical level, life will be worrying.

He can only let his family minimize going out, especially Lin Zhijian, who is the target of key protection.

Recently, Feng Jingyao has been proud. He was originally a director of the Public Directors Bureau of the French Concession. Now the French of the Public Directors Bureau are discussing increasing the rights of Chinese directors in the French Concession.

In the future, Feng Jingyao can participate in the board of directors of the Public and Directors Bureau and put forward his own opinions on the management and construction of the French Concession.

The French use the method of using Chinese to manage Chinese, and they don’t want to spend too much energy on this.

Some French directors even proposed to let Lin Zixuan enter the Public Directors Bureau, hoping to use Lin Zixuan's reputation in Shanghai to calm the emergencies.

Lin Zixuan is not very interested in this, and he does not want to participate in political activities too much.

Another thing comes from Lin Zixuan's third uncle, Lin Boren, who works in the Tianjin government. This third uncle is extremely obsessed with being an official and can be said to be an official fan.

The so-called learning of literature and martial arts. The imperial family has a tense thought of officialism for thousands of years, and being an official is the most noble.

This cannot be eliminated through the Xinhai Revolution, it is an idea engraved in the bones of the Chinese.

Lin Boren keenly realized that the situation was not right. The Guangdong National Government and the Beiyang Government will have a battle sooner or later, and this battle will come soon.

As an official, investing on that side becomes a matter of choice.

Logically speaking, the Beiyang government cannot fail. The Guangdong National Government has less than 300,000 troops, while the Zhili warlords and Fengli warlords have more than one million troops. The gap is too huge.

As a speculative, Lin Boren felt that it was not safe to do nothing and felt uneasy.

He was planning to send his son to study at the Whampoa Military Academy. If the Guangdong National Government wins, there will be a security guarantee.

This requires Lin Zixuan to clear the relationship. Lin Boren knows that Lin Zixuan has a good relationship with people in Guangdong.

For Lin Zixuan, this was just a small task, but he was hesitating whether the Lin family's generation should enter the political circle, and he was considering this from the perspective of the entire clan.

In the future, the Lin family was determined to follow the business path, or to combine business and politics.

The future is a great era of changing circumstances. Once you take the wrong path and stand in the wrong team, the entire family will end up in ashes.

If Lin Zixuan was the only one or a family, he would never be involved in politics. However, each person in this family had different ideas and different pursuits.

He told Feng Chengcheng about this, otherwise he would send his third uncle's son to study abroad.

Feng Chengcheng thought it was not so arbitrary. With the Lin family’s relationship with Jiangsu and Shanghai, and Lin Zixuan’s reputation, it was not realistic to completely get rid of political factors.

Lin Zixuan thought about it and felt it made sense. He should not stop others' future just because he hated politics.

Everyone has their own way, let them go!

He sent a telegram to Song Ziwen and introduced his cousin to the past. As for his future, it depends on his own efforts.

Song Ziwen urged Lin Zixuan to arrive in the Soviet Union as soon as possible.

Since the Soviet Union issued an invitation, some people have visited the Soviet Union and have expressed various opinions after returning.

But the criticism has become smaller, and it is more of an sigh of relief to the Soviet Union.

It is believed that this country is undergoing some kind of major change. Compared with the dead China, the Soviet Union is conducting a great social experiment. Perhaps China also needs this to get rid of the oppression of imperialism.

This does not conflict with Xu Zhimo's idea.

Xu Zhimo looked at the Soviet Union from the perspective of a liberalist and felt that the Soviet Union was full of a depressing atmosphere.

Those who expressed these views looked at the Soviet Union from the perspective of the country, believing that the Soviet Union's socialist construction is worth learning from and reference by China and can solve China's practical problems.

The two view the problem differently, and the conclusions they draw are naturally different.
